No sign of any growth coming up. So it looks like we have discovered a selective killer for mint that will help everything else around it. Maybe someone with a mint problem can try it on a control patch. I used 1/2 cup Epsom Salts in a gallon of water and then sprayed it on. None of the other plants I listed have been harmed. The peppers have turned a rich dark green, so they sure like it. Tom I am one of these Nutters who like growing mint in lawns. It smells so great when you step or mow it and It probably repells a few bugs. The epsom salt thing is amazing. I would like to know more about this. If anything epsom salt should help mint unless it was in a pot. Michael Bailes, The Fragrant Garden, Portsmouth Road, Erina. N.S.W. 2250 Australia.
